Plone on 1and1
October 14th, 2006 by Anthony Curreri
I’ve been hearing a lot of great things about Plone from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I don’t have a linux server running in my house (gasp!) mostly because my awe-inspiring dual-pII is very loud.
The Plone installer needs to be run by the root user. While I have ssh access at 1and1, I don’t have root access. I modified the installer to allow it to run, but of course it didn’t! It looks like it tried creating a user called ‘plone’ as well as trying to install things to ‘/opt/Plone-2.5′, stuff that you have to do as root.
Guess I have to get that Linux box up again. Wonder which distro I’ll use this time. Perhaps Debian again?
If you found this helpful, help me by checking out the ads on the right. Thank you!
